Pewter Helm of Awe Rune Necklace

The "Helm of Awe", or Ægishjálmur, is an "Icelandic stave design": a rune that is empowered eightfold around a central point. This Powerful, Magical symbol was worn in ancient Europe quite extensively, most often as an amulet suspended over the Third Eye, or engraved into a headpiece over the third eye, but also on saddles, weapons and pendants. It was thought to dazzle assailants with its natural motion, giving the wearer protection and time to react. In the center circle of this pendant is also an Icelandic binding rune that is said to repel harmful energy back to its source, bringing victory in any kind of battle.
